Poisoned Blood

Past

"Kasumi time to take your medicine," my dad said. "But I don't want to," I whined. "Kasumi M. Uchiha don't argue," my dad yelled. "Sorry Itachi I have to go," I said standing up. "Now take it," my dad said handing me two yellow pills." Can I play now," I asked. "No, you know you don't feel good after you take your medicine," my dad protested," go straight to your room and got to bed."

(Knock, knock) "Can Kasumi come outside,"Itachi asked. "I'm sorry she's not feeling good today, maybe tomorrow," my dad said. "Dad who was at the door," I asked as he entered my room. "Know one now take your medicine," he said handing me my pills. "Is mom home yet," I asked. "No not yet. She might be home by the end of the week," he said tucking me back in. "I'm going to see if Itachi can play," I yelled running out the door. "I hope he can come outside," I thought as I ran to his house.

(Knock, knock) "Can you play," I asked as he opened the door. "Sorry I have to baby-sit Sasuke today," he said in a disappointing voice. "Oh okay, talk to you tomorrow then," I said as I turned around. "Wait, you were always able to stop Sasuke from crying. Can you stay and help," he said stopping me. "What you can't get your baby brother to stop crying," I said as he took me to Sasuke's room. He opened to the door and Sasuke was throwing a fit. "What did you do," I asked as I picked Sasuke up. "Nothing he woke up and won't stop crying," Itachi yelled.

(Ring, Ring) Sasuke was grabbing at the silver bell I wore around my neck. "See I told you. He always stops crying when you have him," Itachi whispered, Sasuke soon fell asleep. "Next time he starts crying ring a bell," I said laying him in his crib. "You think I haven't tried that," Itachi said," he only stops to your bell." "Sorry I couldn't come out yesterday," I said apologetically. "Don't worry about it. I'm just glad I didn't have to baby-sit yesterday, I would have been out of luck for help," Itachi said sitting down. "You ever thing about putting a different colored streaks in your hair," Itachi said. "What's wrong with my hair," I said giving him an evil look. "Nothing just thought you should put a different color then blue streaks in your hair," Itachi said leaning back. "You're just jealous," I said as I heading for the door. "Hey where are you going? You need to stay and help," Itachi begged. "If I wanted someone to nag me about my hair, I..," I was cut off by Sasuke staring to cry again. I headed back to his room and Itachi followed. When Itachi came into the room, he saw I had Sasuke in my arms and he was playing with my bell. "Now I know why Sasuke is crying, he's teething," I said rocking him back and forth.

"So what do I do," Itachi asked. "You guys really are clueless when It comes to babies aren't you," I said smiling. "Hey," Itachi yelled. Sasuke started to whine,"Itachi keep your voice down.

Go get something he can chew on," I said trying to calm Sasuke back down. Itachi returned to see Sasuke in his crib playing with my bell and I was sitting on the floor with my head in my hands. "Kasumi are you okay," Itachi asked as he gave Sasuke his pacifier and got my bell. "My eye's just hurt," I said rubbing my eyes. "Here's your necklace," he said handing it to me. I reached for it and Itachi saw I had blood on my sleeves. "Kasumi open your eyes," Itachi said moving my hands. "I can't they hurt to much," I said clenching my eyes tightly. Itachi was able to force on eye open, he saw it was completely red. "Come on you need to go to the doctors," Itachi said pulling me to my feet. "No Itachi my dad will get mad if I go to the doctor," I said as Itachi pulled me.

"I don't care your eyes are bleeding. I'll tell him I dragged you here so he won't get mad at you," he said. I could soon hear the commotion of a hospital. "Can I help you Itachi," a nurse asked walking up to him. "My friend, her eyes are red," Itachi said pulling me forward. "Okay lets have a look," she said pulling out a light," open your eyes." She reached over and shined the light in my eye. "Turn it off," I yelled slapping the light out of her hand, I then stared to cry tears of blood. "Kasumi are you alright," Itachi asked grabbing me. I could hear the nurse yell for assistance. "Itachi what's going on," I asked as I grew scared. I then felt my feet leave the ground and I didn't feel Itachi by me anymore. "Itachi," I yelled. "Don't worry," he yelled back. I then had doctors poking and prodding me with needles, bright lights being shined in my already hurting eyes, and then I could hear my dad yelling outside the door. After several hours of needles and bright lights, my dad came in. "Kasumi I told you not to go to a doctor," my dad quietly yelled. "Sorry dad but it wasn't my chose," I said trying not to cry. "Well they said you're not getting out of here any time soon, so I'm having them transfer you," my dad said. "Why but I don't wasn't to leave the village," I whined. "Don't argue with me. There taking you to a hospital in the snow country and you'll still be taking you medicine," my dad said handing me a bottle. "Yes daddy does mom know," I asked. "Yes, you're leaving in a few hours," he said heading for the door. "What?! Can you tell Itachi where I'm going," I asked. "Sure," he said in a weird tone.

Present

I was at an outpost town not far from the Hidden Leaf Village. "Man I wonder how long until I get sick again," I asked as I put on my silver bell. (Ring, Ring) "Strange it hasn't made a sound ever since I left the village when I was sick," I thought to myself as I opened my door. (Ring, Ring) "What's a matter Itachi," Kisame asked. Kisame turned his head to see what Itachi was looking at. He saw a girl with long black hair with blue streaks. "What do you want me to do Itachi," Kisame asked. "Nothing,"

(Ring, Ring) "Kisame stop her," Itachi said changing his mind. "Oh sorry," I said as I walked into someone. I looked up to see a guy in a black coat with red clouds. "Can I help you," I said as he put his hand on my shoulder. "You're coming with me," Kisame said. "No I'm not," I said as I activated my sharingan. "Hey you're an Uchiha? Itachi!" Kisame yelled. "Itachi?" I said turning around. I turned to see Itachi standing a few feet behind me. My sharingan faded away and my eyes started to hurt. I then felt someone hit me over the head and I hit the ground. "Do you want to take her too," Kisame asked picking me up by my scarf. "Yeah," Itachi said facing Naruto again.

(Ring, Ring) I could hear my bell ring. I opened my eyes to see I was on someone's shoulders. I then hear someone scream out in pain, I lifted my head to see Itachi pinning Sasuke to the wall. "Itachi don't hurt him," I said weakly. "Itachi hurry up, she's waking up," Kisame yelled. "You still don't have enough hate little brother," Itachi said letting go of Sasuke. "Let's go Kisame," Itachi said running down the hall. "How are we going to get out," Kisame asked. I then saw the wall blow out with black fire. They soon were running through the forest and they stopped at a hideout in the middle forest. "Hey did you get the demon," Deidara asked as they entered the room. "No but we got another Uchiha," Kisame said walking in with me still on his shoulder.

Kisame then sat me in a chair. "Why are her eyes bleeding" Keira asked looking at my face," and why does she have a bruise across her shoulder." "I might of hit her," Kisame said as he sat down. "If she's an Uchiha Itachi must know her," Sasori said. Everyone looked to Itachi for an answer. "Is she sick or something," Deidara asked stepping next to Keira. "Ever since she was little," Itachi said. "Ah finally he speaks," Keira teased," So what her name?" "Kasumi," I said whipping my face. "That's almost like your name Kisame," Deidara said as he sat back down. "Why are you back," Itachi asked as he stepping in front of me. "Itachi that's not...,"Keira was cut off. "Why are you back," Itachi demanded an answer. "Because," I said looking up. "Because why!" Itachi yelled. His eyes started to turn red with the sharingan. "What's all the noise about," Leader asked as he came down the hall. "Just a family feud," Deidara said from the couch. "Does it matter why!" I yelled back. "Yes," he yelled. "No it doesn't!!" I screamed. "Tell me," Itachi said through gritting teeth. He grabbed me by my scarf and pulled me out of the chair. "Itachi, cool it," Leader warned. Itachi let go of me and stormed to his room. "Keira go and take her to wash her face off," Leader said as he saw my eyes start to bleed again. "So Kasumi, how do you know Itachi," Keira asked handing me a wet towel. "We used to be friends," I said whipping the blood off my face. "Used to?" she said questionably. "After I left the village it seems like he's changed. You saw what just happened; he never used to yell at me," I said following her to a room. We both saw Itachi come out of his room. He walked right by Keira but when he came to me, he slammed into my shoulder.

(Tink) My bell hit the ground and rolled. "Here," Mika said handing the bell to me. "Keira who's this?" Mika asked. "This is Kasumi Uchiha," Keira replied. Mika gave me an evil look and continued to walk down the hall. "Don't take that personally. She's still mad that Mikura Uchiha might get a boy she likes. Even though Mikura loves Sasuke, go figure," Keira said opening a door. "So little Mikura is still alive," I thought as I followed Keira. "You can probably stay in here, but we'll have to clear it with Leader first," Keira said walking into a black and blue room.

"Keira can I talk to Kasumi," Itachi was standing in the door way. "Only if she wants to," Keira replied. "Okay," I said walking towards Itachi. He motioned for me to follow and we walked into his room. "I'll ask you one more time, why are you back," he asked closing the door. "I don't feel like tell why," I said looking at the floor. "Tell me, u know I won't hesitate," Itachi said putting a kuni to my throat. "Go ahead, I'm going to die anyway," I said with no hint of fear in my voice. "What?" He said putting down the kuni. "My dad didn't send me to a hospital in the snow country, he sent me to a testing lab," I said as he let go. "Your dad told me u snuck out of the hospital because u couldn't stand the village anymore," Itachi said looking me straight in the eye. "No 24\7, 365 days a year for 12 years. I was stuck in a cold dark room. My dad just wanted a stronger daughter," I said sinking to the floor.

"So your dad used you as a test subject. But how are you dieing," Itachi asked curiously. "Needle, solution, pill repeat. All day they would do that cycle. They were trying to make my chakra stronger and last longer, they tried to increase the power of my sharingan. After 10 years they succeeded," I said. "What about the last 2 years," he asked getting down to my level. "I got sicker. Those pills dad used to give me were just to see how I would react to the solution. When they kept that solution constant in my veins, I stopped becoming sick. But when they succeeded in the transformation. My body was to weak to fight off any infection. Then something strange happened, my..."

I was interrupted by someone pounding on the door. (Ring, Ring) The door flew open,"Itachi what did you do to Sasuke," Mikura yelled. "Nothing I'm a little busy," he said standing up. "Oh, who's you friend," Mikura asked looking at me. "I wouldn't think you'd remember me. Since the last time I saw you, you were just a baby," I said standing up. "Itachi, Kasumi come here," Leader yelled. We headed to the living room and I could see a puzzled look on Mikura's face. "Kasumi you're going to sleep in Itachi's room." "What! So they get to sleep in the same room," Deidara interrupted. "No and don't interrupt me. Itachi is going to bunk in Kisame's room," Leader said, "so does that sound okay?" We both shook our heads yes. Then everyone heard a commotion going on outside. We all ran outside to see Mikura and Mika fighting. "Does this happen often," I asked Keira. "Unfortunately yes," she said. "Isn't anyone going to stop them," I asked. "Someone usually gets hurt if they try to step in," Kisame said. "Well I'll stop it then," I said walking forward. I then saw Mikura make hands signs for a Fire Ball Justu. I ran in front of Mika and put my hands up. "Itachi what's Kasumi doing," Sasori asked pointing to me. Before Itachi could react the fire engulfed us.

(Ring, Ring, Ring, Ring) Mikura stopped her justu to reveal Mika and I behind a chakra shield. "Kasumi are you alright," Mika asked me. I put my hands down and she saw they were bleeding but I was not burned. "What was she thinking," Mikura asked herself as she walked towards us. "Kasumi?" Mika said touching my shoulder. I fell to the ground, my hands were bleeding and my eyes started to bleed again. "Is she alright," Mikura asked. "I dunno," Keira said looking at my hands. "Hey Leader look at this," Kisame said motioning for him. "What is it?" "Look," Kisame said pointing to the blood on the ground. As they looked at my blood on the ground they saw chakra flowing throw it. "Strange," Leader said touching the blood on the ground. "Keira where are her hands bleeding from," Itachi asked. "Looks like her chakra points," Keira said with a puzzled voice. "Go take her inside and get her cleaned up. I want to talk to her later," Leader said. Itachi picked me up and headed inside.

(Ring, Ring) Mikura looked down at her feet to see a silver bell. She leaned down picked it up and played with it in her hand. "Hey Mikura stop playing with that broken piece of junk and come inside," Hidan yelled. "What do u mean broken," Mikura asked running up. Hidan snatched it out of her hand. "It doesn't ring," Hidan said as he shook it. "Yes it does," Mikura said grabbing it. "Where's my necklace," I said weakly as I reached for it."Don't move your hands," Keira said. "Where's my necklace," I said ignoring Keira's words. "Looking for this," Mikura said walking into the room. "Give her, her damn necklace so she'll stay still," Keira said growing angry. Mikura walked over to me and handed me my bell. "Why doesn't Hidan hear it?" Mikura asked. "Hear what?" Keira asked.

"The bell, he can't hear it," Mikura said. "It makes noise," Keira said taking it and shaking it. "Wear the bell to find your way home. The bell will only chime in homes ears. My mom said that to me when she gave it to me," I said reaching for it. "What does that mean?" Mikura asked. "The bell will guide you home," I said putting it around my neck. "Everyone out, I need to talk to Kasumi in private," Leader said walking in. Keira and Mikura left. "Your wondering why my blood has chakra in it aren't you," I said sitting up. "Yes." I cracked a smile. "My chakra network and blood veins are one. That's the price of trying to force your chakra to last longer," I said looking at my hands. "So your body is kept alive by chakra blood fusion," Leader asked in a calm voice. "Mostly chakra. My body is 90% run by chakra. The ultimate fighter is not invincible," I said looking up. Leader gave me a strange look. "You don't understand do you? If I am pushed to my limit and then some, my body won't last. I don't have enough blood to keep my body going when my chakra is all gone. That's how I'm going to die," I said turning my head to Itachi, who was standing in the corner. "Now if we're done here in going to bed," I said heading for itachi's room.

"Did you know about this," Leader asked after I left. As Itachi walked by his room he could hear a faint crying sound. "Kasumi are you going to come out and have lunch," Keira asked as she knocked on the door. "Keira don't bang so loud," Deidara said walking down the hall. "I'm not banging loud. That's just your head pounding from your hangover," Keira said," who cares about your head anyways. Kasumi hasn't come out of her room all day." "Maybe she's dead," Deidara said rubbing his head. "Don't say that," Keira said hitting him in the head. Deidara ran down the hall screaming for aspirin. Mika soon joined Keira in trying to get me to open the door. "Itachi do you have a key to your room," Mika asked stopping him. Itachi handed her a key and continued to walk down the hall. They opened the door, they found the room dark and cold. "Kasumi are you awake," Mika asked tapping me on the shoulder. "Keira she's ice cold," Mika said turning around.

Keira threw open the blinds letting light in. "Turn off the lights," I said in a raspy voice. "How are you feeling," Keira asked walking over to the bed. "Mika you said she feels cold," Keira said touching my forehead," your right about that she feels like she spent a night in a freezer." "Shut the blinds, its hot in here," I said in a very low voice. Mika ran and got a thermometer and gave it to me. The thermometer could not make up its mind to either go hot or cold. Then the temperature shot up so quick it broke the thermometer. "Holy crap!" Keira yelled causing everyone to run into the room.

(Ring, Ring) I reached up and covered the bell with my hand. "What's going on, who screamed," Kisame asked running in. "The thermometer broke," Mika said showing everyone. "Did you get a reading," Itachi asked walking into the room. "It paused at 113* so I guess that's the reading," Keira said looking at the group. "It's going to kill her before she turns 20. I don't care make her stronger, I want a stronger daughter," I said in a disturbing voice. "What did she say," Sasori asked. "She's probably losing her sanity because her temp. is so high," Keira said. "Dad why aren't you happy with the way I am," I said as tears started to flow down my face. "What's happening to her," Hidan asked as my body stared to shake violently. "Oh no, she's having a seizure. Kisame, Hidan hold her legs down. Mika help me," Keira yelled, "hold her until she stops." Everyone stood there watching as I spazed out. Finally after 2 minutes I stopped seizing. "Why are you guys holding me down," I asked as they let go. "You were spazing out," Deidara said. "Oh sorry, guess I should of told you," I said sitting up. "Told us what. What else haven't you told us," I heard Itachi say in a stern voice. "I usually get sick every 2 weeks and what you just saw happens every time," I said clenching my necklace. "So you seize 2 times a month. Don't you have any side affects," Keira asked. "No, but after the attacks I feel much better," I said standing up," can I get some food?" "Sure follow me," Mika said.

"So Itachi now there's 4 Uchiha's left. What are…" Deidara was interrupted. "There's soon only going to be 3," Itachi said leaving the room. "Do you think he's going to try and killer her," Hidan whispered. "Probably, remember he's supposed to marry Mikura," Sasori said waling down the hall. When they entered the living room, Mika and I were already watching T.V. "Hey move your fat asses over," Deidara yelled almost jumping on both of us. "What the heck Deidara, the only one with a fat ass is you," Mika snapped. I glanced over at Itachi who gave me a cold stare. For some reason I had the urge to try and stare him down.

Soon my gaze was broken when Deidara rolled on top of me. "What the…" I looked down to see Deidara's head in my lap. "Mika's not a nice pillow, can I lay on you," Deidara asked with a baby face. I gave him a big smile and said, "No," I then pushed him off the couch. Everyone started to laugh," looks like you got rejected again," Kisame said laughing. "Oh I'm getting a spot," Deidara said in a creepy voice. Deidara got on his knees in front of me and grabbed my arm and pulled. I went flying on the floor face first. "Deidara that was harsh," Mika said hitting him. Itachi walked up next to Deidara and gave him a cold glare. Deidara sank down in his seat.

(Ring, Ring) Itachi grabbed me by my arm and pulled me to my feet. "Go!" Itachi said pushing me towards the hall. "Itachi you don't have to be so mean," Kisame said. Itachi turned around and said, "Shut it." "Keep going!" Itachi said grabbing my arm and pushing me. "Ow… let go…ow ow … come on Itachi let go," I said as he took me towards his room. "Get in there," Itachi said throwing me in his room. "What's your… (Slam)... hey open the door. Itachi open the door. Dammit Itachi open the fricken door," I screamed kicking the door. "Shut up and stay in there," Itachi shouted back.

"What's going on back there," Keira asked as Itachi came back into the living room. Itachi didn't say anything and walked right into the kitchen. Everyone could hear me kicking and screaming from inside Itachi's room. "Fine, fine I see I'm not getting out of here. You jerk!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as I kicked the door. "I guess no one's going to help me," I said lying on Itachi's bed. "Man Itachi why have you changed so much. What happened to the little boy that used to ask for help to babysit his baby brother. And know our whole clan is dead and you and your brother are trying to killer each other," I thought to myself.

(Ring, Ring) The door flew open and Itachi walked in with a bottle of water. "Drink this," Itachi said tossing it to me. "Why, what did you do to it," I asked opening the cap. "I'm trying to poison you," Itachi said in a sarcastic voice, "just drink it." "I wouldn't be surprised if you tried." "What's that supposed to mean." "Why Itachi, why did you kill everyone?" "I don't need to talk about this." "Yes you do tell me why." "Don't ask questions you don't need answers to." "Itachi!... Go ahead, I know you want to, come on kill me already," I shouted as Itachi pressed a kuni against me throat. "I can't," Itachi said walking away. "Why not, you killed our whole clan. What's one more person," I dangerously teased. "Watch it," Itachi warned throwing the kuni, nicking my cheek. I sat there in surprise as Itachi left the room. "Wow he might be more serious then me," I said slipping into sleep. "Who's there," I asked sleepily as the door creaked opened. I noticed it was dark in the room, so it was possibly night. "Scoot," I heard Itachi say. "Why?" "Kisame snores and his room smells, so scoot." I groaned as I scooted towards the wall. "Itachi." What." "You better not snore," I said falling asleep again.

(Ring, Ring) I reached up to silence my bell by covering it with my hands. (Ring, Ring) "Why can't I move my arm," I asked myself not opening my eyes. I tried moving my arm. "Stop moving," Itachi said half asleep. I opened my eyes to see Itachi's arm around my waist holding my arms down. "I…Itachi roll o…over," I said in a stammering voice. I saw his hand move from my waist then rest on my stomach. I tried to push him so he'd roll over but he actually hugged me so he wouldn't budge. "Itachi let go, I know you're awake," I said as I squirmed. "Go back to sleep," Itachi said squeezing me tighter. "Itachi don't make me scream, let go," I said with my voice getting louder. I took a deep breath and then, "Don't scream, just be quiet," Itachi said covering my mouth. I started to mumble words under his hand but he wouldn't move his hand away. "I'm not going to remove my hand until you promise you won't scream," Itachi said in me ear.

I nodded my head yes and he took his hand off. I let out a big sigh and I then felt Itachi finally roll over. I sat up and looked at the clock, it read 4:00 am. I laid beck down and unfortunately itachi rolled back over and his hand ended up back in the same spot. "If he wouldn't kill me, I would snap off that arm right now," I thought as I looked down at his hand. "You know it's better to think your thoughts, not say then out loud," Itachi said pocking my in the stomach. "Dammit," I shouted. "Hey shut up in there," Hidan said hitting the wall. "Don't make me cover your mouth again," Itachi warned. "Move, move," I said shoving Itachi almost off the bed. "What are you doing," Itachi asked sitting up. I didn't say anything, I just headed for the door. Itachi got up and chased after me, but when he got outside I was know where to be found. "Itachi what's all the fuss about?" Keira asked rubbing her eyes. "Kasumi's gone," Itachi said walking back inside the house. I ran threw the forest heading for the Hidden Leaf Village.

(Ring, Ring) I stopped and looked around, I noticed I was at a training ground. I could hear someone taking out there anger on a tree. "Mikura calm down, please," Kyra begged. "Kyra's right, calm down. Jiraiya and Naruto went to get Lady Tsunade, she'll fix Sasuke," Jen said. I walked up to see Mikura destroying anything she could get her hands on. (Ring, Ring) "You, what are you doing here," Mikura said turning to me. She didn't give me a chance to answer. "What did Itachi do to him," Mikura demanded coming towards me with a kuni drawn. "Please calm down Mikura," I said putting my hands up. "I'll calm down when Sasuke's awake," Mikura shouted getting closer. Her eyes were glowing with the sharingan. "Mikura don't pick a fight please," Kyra said. "How do we know you're not a spy for Itachi," Mikura said stopping a few feet in front of me. "I promise I'm not a spy. I just came to the village to find something out," I said in defense.

"Liar," Mikura said making hand sings, "Fire style, Fire Ball Justu!" "Dammit, Ice style. Ice Prison Justu," I yelled countering her attack. "Let me go, Widow help," Mikura yelled. I saw I had her waist deep in my ice prison, and then a dark figure appeared behind her. "Please I didn't come here to fight. If you want I can help Sasuke," I said carefully. "How do we know you wont try to kill him," Kyra said helping Mikura. "I used to baby-sit Sasuke. I wouldn't dream of hurting him," I said trying to get then to trust me. "Lets try it," Jennifer said looking at me. "Fine, but we'll watch you like a hawk," Mikura warned. They led me to Sasuke's hospital room. "Widow come out. I want you to stop her if she tries anything," Mikura said as the black figure appeared again. I walked up to Sasuke's bed and put my hand on his forehead. My hand started to glow blue (Ring, Ring).

Sasuke started to open his eyes; Mikura shoved me out of the way. "Sasuke are you alright?" Mikura asked. "Hey are you okay," Jen asked walking up to me. "Yeah, I just need to rest," I said sitting down. "Mikura where is she," Sasuke asked. "Who, Sasuke?" Mikura said a little concerned. "Kasumi I heard her necklace," Sasuke said sitting up. "Sasuke you remember her?" Mikura asked questionably. "A little, but I remember the bell the most. I don't really know what she looked like. I've only seen one picture of her that was in Itachi's room," Sasuke said looking at me, "you haven't changed much, have you?" "I couldn't say the same for you," I said cracking a weak smile. I then started to cough and blotches of blood covered my hand. "Are you sure your alright," Jen asked again. I nodded my head yes as I continued to cough. "Are you still sick?" Sasuke asked. "Sasuke how do you know so much about her?" Kyra asked.

"Mom, Dad and Itachi wouldn't stop talking about her after she left. They said if she wouldn't have kept getting sick, she could have graduated the academy with Itachi," Sasuke explained. "Yes I'm still sick, Sasuke," I said wobbling as I stood up. Suddenly the door flew open an Ino and sakura entered. They both yelled Sasuke's name in unison. "Wait Kasumi, you've learned the secret of the sharingan, haven't you," Sasuke yelled stopping me. "Yes, why?" "I want you to teach me. I need to destroy Itachi for what he's done." "Sorry Sasuke I can't." "Why!" "Because teaching you will kill me," I said leaving the room. "Keira, why is Itachi so grumpy," Sasori asked quietly.

"Kasumi left," she replied. Itachi stood up and left the hideout and walked into the forest. "Mikura I have an uneasy feeling," Widow said. "I know so do I." "Sasuke what are you doing," sakura asked as Sasuke got out of bed. "Mikura he's coming," Sasuke said walking to her. "So that's what I'm sensing," she said looking out the window. I walked out to the training grounds where I used to train. "Man, so much has changed. I used to be able to fight until night. Now I can't do a simple justu without feeling tired," I thought to myself as I sat down.

(Ring, Ring) "What do you want," I asked looking up to see Itachi standing in front of me. "Your coming back with me," he said in an emotionless tone. "Why so you can be an even bigger jerk, forget it," I said waving him away. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. "Let go!" I yelled pulling my hand away. "Don't make this more difficult," Itachi said looking me straight in the eyes. Everything started to turn red and black. "Dammit Tsukuyomi. Itachi don't think this is going to work. I'm not a simpleton to this justu," I said activating my sharingan. I broke his justu but it took half my strength. "You still can't fight without weakening. Surrender now and I won't hurt you," Itachi said. "Save me the time and kill me now. I heard you the other day, there are only going to be 3. So save your breath and make it 3," I said not taking my eyes off of him. "I can't." "Why, why can't you kill me? You killed everyone else. What's one more person," I demanded an answer.

"I already told you once, watch it," Itachi warned. "No I won't watch it. I wan to know if you can kill me," I taunted. "I killed my whole village. What makes you think I can't kill you," Itachi said getting mad. "Your words say more then your actions, I'm still here," I said. "What am I saying I only have enough chakra for 2 more good justu's," I thought to myself. My eye's then caught his hand movements, "Dammit not fire again, Ice Wall Justu," I said to myself as I put up a barrier. I fell to my knees, "only one more justu. I've had my sharingan on too long. It's taking most of my energy then fighting with Mikura and helping Sasuke. Its all too high amounts of chakra, now this," I said to myself as I stood up. "Don't hide. Come out and fight," Itachi said. "Only one chose, got to make this one count," I said making the wall disappear, "ready, Fire Style Howl Fire Ball." I followed closely behind the attack to make a surprise attack. As I ran I could feel my body starting to painfully shut down. (Ring, Ring, Tink) I barely got my kuni into itachi's right shoulder. "If you would have come with me, you could have lived," Itachi said pushing me away. I fell to the ground coughing up blood. I tried to reach for the bell that was on the ground next to me. "Itachi!" Sasuke and Mikura yelled appearing out of the trees. "What did you do," Sasuke shouted. Itachi walked up next to me and stepped on my necklace. "What a pity, now there's only going to be 3 Uchiha's. Mikura don't forget," Itachi said disappearing. I starred as the remains of my necklace, "Don't worry. Those were the last nice words you said to me," I thought to myself as I reached for my necklace. I grabbed the bell and a piece of paper that was inside the bell. I looked at the paper; it was a picture of me and Itachi when we were little. An I saw something I hadn't seen in years, itachi's smile. I turned the paper over and there was writing on the back, it read:

To my little darling Kasumi. I always loved to see you two together. You always brought a smile out of him. I leave medicine to help you with any illness. Call it mothers' instinct. Have a happy and long live.

Love always,

Mom

I gave a faint smile and took the medicine. "Kasumi are you alright," Sasuke asked. I shook my head yes and slowly stood up.
